It's great to be able to invoke alerts for specified phrases (with regexp even!), but it would be fantastic to have the option to highlight any messages that match the specified patterns, similar to the search highlight. An even better implementation would be to add a column to the message alerts section of preferences to allow the selection of highlight color individually for each phrase added.

I think this addition would make finding relevant messages of various importance much easier, especially when one has stepped away for a bit and has to look through the backlog for relevant missed messages.

    Hey,

    thanks for the suggestions. Highlighting messages that triggered an alert is definitely on my radar, as is keeping track of your last-read-message in the transcript.

    Hey,

    just a note - Propane 1.0.7 (check for updates) now uses a minty-green background for the body of any messages which matched your alert terms.

    Regards, Trev
